Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall got a true taste of Irish tradition today when they were enticed on to the dance floor to practice a few notoriously energetic céilí steps. 

The couple were seen grinning and grimacing simultaneously as they were shown the basic ‘123’ steps of a traditional Irish dance at the Bru Boru Cultural Centre in County Tipperary on the second day of their visit to the Republic. 

Charles, 73, was a good sport as he was shown some moves by professional Irish dancers, and while not quite at Riverdance standards, he gamely graced the floor with some toe tapping himself. 

Camilla, 74, looked on in glee as her husband took up the world-famous dance, while others looked on clapping, and the Duchess soon got involved herself and was shown around the dance floor by an eager volunteer.
